We have chooks (as they are called here in NZ).
Our neighbours down the road are going away for the summer so we have taken their chooks for the next few months. They have 5 shavers. Two are elderly and there was some doubt about their laying abilities. We have taken possession of these 2 elderly ones, with the 3 younger ones following when their owners actually leave on their trip.
The two old girls have been with us for about 5 days now and every day we find 2 eggs. I guess they are earning their keep.

They are very easy to have around. Moving around in a dignified undemanding way, softly talking chook talk to each other.
It took them a few days to find the laying boxes and stop laying in the corner of their run. Now they like to share the same laying box.
It is a pleasure to have chooks again. With our moving around life style it is difficult to fit them in. Chook sitting seems to be the answer.
